MEMBER OF BIH PRESIDENCY BEĆIROVIĆ – CONGRESSWOMAN WAGNER: SMART MOVES TO STRENGTHEN PRESENCE OF BIH IN USA

SARAJEVO, FEBRUARY 1 (ONASA) – A working meeting was held in the building of the United States Congress of Bosnia and Herzegovina Presidency member Denis Bećirović and Congresswoman Ann Wagner, who is one of the most influential members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives and the Financial Services Committee. During the meaningful meeting, PBiH member Bećirović presented a new approach with the aim of stronger diplomatic activity of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the United States of America and agreed on specific activities with congresswoman Wagner.
– The state of Bosnia and Herzegovina must pay much more attention to activities in the United States of America. In the past four years, anti-Bosnian forces have worked intensively to weaken our position in the United States of America, and this must change. Bosnia and Herzegovina must be more strongly represented in the strongest country in the world, and that is why I want to strengthen our presence in the USA with smart moves, said the member of the BiH Presidency Bećirović.
During the meeting, PBiH member Bećirović underlined that the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the citizens of the United States of America, appreciate and believe in the advantages of a multi-ethnic society, and are guided by the idea of living together, mutual respect and tolerance.
– The state of Bosnia and Herzegovina has been based on these ideas and values for hundreds of years. Our experience from the past only emphasizes the importance of advocating for the defense of those values. In this sense, the concrete help of the United States of America, which naturally understands the advantages of those values, is of crucial importance for the further development of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina, said Bećirović.
